Why do I need to have my sewing machine serviced?
There are many moving parts in a sewing machine and if it moves, it needs lubrication. These days many of the moving parts are housed with computer circuit boards and wires around them. Our Sewing machine technicians are factory trained to maintain and service computerized sewing machines.
For best performance and years of sewing, our technicians suggest you have your machine serviced annually. Below is our 24-Point Tune-Up Checklist and a list of Sewing Machine Performance Tips that our technicians suggest between services.
Sewing Machine Performance Tips:
Keep your machine covered when not using it. Household dust, lint and pet hair can enter your machine in one of it's many openings causing all types of problems.
Keep your machine away from direct sunlight, high/low temperatures and humidity.
Use the right needle for your project and change your needle every 3 to 4 hours of sewing or after every other project. The needle is the major culprit for most sewing problems.
Use good quality thread.
Use bobbins made specifically for your machine and make sure your bobbin thread is wound tight and no loose threads are hanging.
DO NOT SEW OVER PINS! Your needle may break, you could damage the hook or pieces of the needle could fly up into your face.
Do not use canned air on your machine or blow into your machine. The lint is just being pushed further into the machine and you are spraying moisture into your machine which can cause corrosion or damage your circuit boards
Clean the bobbin area frequently. Refer to manual for instructions.
Have a 24 Point Inspection completed, at a qualified repair center, on your sewing machine once a year to keep it performing like new for years to come.
Extended US Warranty: 30 Days labor on defects in materials and workmanship.
Non-US Warranty: 30 days parts and labor.

Although using a Bernina 1008, most of the information applies to most sewing machines. All sewing machines do better with a little bit of ‘TLC’. Just a bit of a clean up and a drop of oil every now and then does wonders. Keeping your sewing machine clean and lubricated will reduce the wear and tear and keep everything running smoothly.

15 Reasons Why a Sewing Machine Needle Breaks by Sewing Mastery, Heirloom CreationsA sewing machine needle can break for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it is operator error and sometimes it can be the wrong needle for the fabric. If you have experienced a rash of broken needles within a short amount of time, see if one of the following situations relates to you and learn how to overcome the problem.
Thread Catches on the Spool
Some thread brands have these lovely thread holders notched in the edge of the spool. Handy, yes, but if the thread spool is laying on its side it can catch in the groove, pull the thread tight and SNAP the sewing machine needle. To avoid this, be sure to stand this type of thread up using a vertical thread pin.
Thread Wraps Around the Spool Cap:
For threads that need a horizontal spool pin and a spool cap to hold them in place, the thread can get caught between the thread spool and the cap. Though a spool cap is necessary to keep the thread in place, it must be pushed into place so there is no gap for the thread to catch between the two. This is one of the reasons I prefer using a thread stand.
Whitening Your Yellowed Vintage Sewing, Serger, Embroidery, Quilting and Knitting Machine Plastic ABS Parts! (RetroBrite) This is a video demonstrating how I have whitened some ABS plastic pieces of a vintage knitting machine that had become yellow with age and exposure to UV light. This is the RetroBrite procedure, which you may have seen being used on old video game consoles, sneakers, computers, and other older ABS plastic products. Works very well, is inexpensive, and really helps restore these old beauties to their former glory.

SEW STEADY TABLE DESIGN STANDARDS:
All of our tables are designed based on having the accessory tray removed from the machine. We position the machine to have the needle around 5”-7” from the front edge of the table. The table encompasses the entire freearm/flatbed sewing surface (does not wrap to the far-right of the machine). If your machine free arm slopes downward and has contours we may choose to design the table to hover over the slope to ensure a perfectly level, smooth sewing surface. If you have a top loading bobbin and a sloped machine this may affect your use. Please contact us in advance at SewSteady.com for other options. If you are purchasing a Deluxe Table then the holes do not need to be in line with the needle to make circles.
Please indicate the Dimensions of the Sew Steady extension table in inches:
Left to Right :________ Front to Back:_________
Make of Machine: ______________ Model of Machine: _______________
The standard position of the table placement front to back is to have the needle sit about 5-7” from the front of the table. Will this work for you? ___________
(If no, please indicate in measurements of 1/16”-increments how far from the front of the table you wish to have the front of your skinny free-arm on your machine sit)
The standard position of the table from right to left is to have the table wrap around the free arm of the machine only. Our goal is to give the sewer the most sewing space from the free arm to the left of the needle. Will this work for you? _____________
(If no, please indicate in 1/16”-increments how much Table you’d like to the left of the left/tip of your free arm to the left edge of the table)
The standard position of the table is to have the sewer positioned in front of the machine, with the needle at the left, the handwheel at the right. Will this work for you? ______________
(If no, do you plan to sew using Free Motion Technique, which would prefer you to sew at the tip of the machine, changing the placement of the cutout to be on the wider end?)
Our tables typically only wrap around the free arm of a machine, they do not typically wrap the full length to the right. Do you need your table to wrap as far to the right side of the machine as possible? __________
The table is designed to never be resting on or touching the machine. You may have to adjust the levelers on the feet to make sure the table is perfectly level with the top of the free arm in order to sit as designed. The table is designed to fit around the free arm with the accessory tray always being removed. We do make some tables that work for Embroidery and Sergers. Please let us know if you are interested in these options. We are happy to accommodate other special requests as well with proper measurements and pictures if needed. Our goal is to get you the right table the first time. If you decide you do not like the placement requested the first time, there is a $50 fee for a 2nd revision
